Abstract
An example control system includes a memory and at least one processor to obtain image data from a given region and perform image analysis on the image data to detect a set of objects in the given region. For each object of the set, the example control system may classify each object as being one of multiple predefined classifications of object permanency, including (i) a fixed classification, (ii) a static and fixed classification, and/or (iii) a dynamic classification. The control system may generate at least a first layer of a occupancy map for the given region that depicts each detected object that is of the static and fixed classification and excluding each detected object that is either of the static and unfixed classification or of the dynamic classification.
